Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Well, Strange Science is going to come along the bottom
Speaker 2: the hour. They're great stories, and Shannon found some weird
Speaker 2: animal stories that we'll.
Speaker 1: Have to get to. Oh right, where did I put those?
Speaker 2: And then of course what would what do the would
Speaker 2: be popes eat?
Speaker 1: Oh? This is great? Did you know that there are
Speaker 1: strict rules on the popes or the cardinals, I should
Speaker 1: say the cardinals picking which one among them will be
Speaker 1: the next pope, rules about what they can eat because
Speaker 1: there's been fears for apparently seven hundred and fifty or
Speaker 1: so years that people would sneak messages via I don't know,
Speaker 1: ravioli to the popes. So there's a strict set of
Speaker 1: guidelines on how the food gets delivered, what the food
Speaker 1: can be, the whole bit. What else is going on?
Speaker 1: Time for what's happening? Well, of course, the big news
Speaker 1: out of Washington today is that we've got Mike Walls
Speaker 1: out as National Security Advisor. Marco Rubio, Secretary of State,
Speaker 1: will be taking over as the interim National Security Advisor.
Speaker 1: Mike Walls, for his part, has been nominated by Trump
Speaker 1: for United Nations Ambassador.
Speaker 2: This announcement came after multiple news reports this morning that
Speaker 2: Mike Waltz was going to leave his role because of
Speaker 2: the controversy of his creation of that signal messaging app
Speaker 2: chat thread. It was used by Pete Hegseth and others
Speaker 2: to talk about military plans for attacks on the Hoothy
Speaker 2: rebels in Yemen, and it was Mike Waltz or his
Speaker 2: assistant that inadvertently added to the chat. The editor of
Speaker 2: The Atlantic magazine blew this whole thing up. Now, if
Speaker 2: you remember, the President had previously nominated at least Stephonic,
Speaker 2: congresswoman out of New York for the UN ambassador slot,
Speaker 2: but then withdrew the nomination in March, if nothing else,
Speaker 2: because they said there was a very slim majority of
Speaker 2: report publicans hold in the House of Representatives and he
Speaker 2: didn't want to lose her vote. So in this case,
Speaker 2: he kind of gets to move Mike Waltz, but doesn't
Speaker 2: lose him from the administration and will keep him as
Speaker 2: part of the as part of that international team.
Speaker 1: Do you ever think your pressure cooker was going to
Speaker 1: blow up in your kitchen and burn the house down
Speaker 1: and kill you the way that I do. Every time
Speaker 1: I've used the pressure cooker. I look at it and
Speaker 1: I see the steam, and I see the little thing
Speaker 1: bobbing up and down, and I think, one of these
Speaker 1: days that thing is going to malfunction and boom, there
Speaker 1: goes the house.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: Shark Ninja is recalling more than two million pressure cookers
Speaker 1: sold in the US and Canada. Consumers reported over one
Speaker 1: hundred burn injuries spanning from a hazard that can cause
Speaker 1: hot food to spew out of it. These are the
Speaker 1: foody Op three hundred series multifunction pressure cookers. They've got
Speaker 1: a lid that can be opened while the cooker is
Speaker 1: in use. That sounds like about it. That can cause
Speaker 1: the hot contents to escape from the product and burn
Speaker 1: the s out of you. More than fifty reports of
Speaker 1: second or third degree burns to the face or body.
Speaker 1: Oh what an awful story too. You know you got
Speaker 1: burns all over your face. Well what happened? Oh? I
Speaker 1: was using my pressure cooker to make chicken catgatory or
Speaker 1: whatever the hell it is. What a sad story that is.
Speaker 1: I mean, you have to make something up. You'd have
Speaker 1: to make it could be like the Bullshoy acid attack,
Speaker 1: Like a disgruntled ballet dancer threw acid on my face
Speaker 1: because I didn't give his wife the ballerina part something good.
Speaker 1: You pressure cooker accident. That's awful story to tell.
Speaker 2: That's a weird thing to think about. In the month
Speaker 2: of February, just over twenty two thousand California homes. Can
Speaker 2: I get sold.
Speaker 1: That tattooed on my wrist? What? That's a weird thing
Speaker 1: to think about. To remind myself stop thinking about stupid craft.
Speaker 2: Those twenty two thousand homes that were old was down
Speaker 2: one percent in a year. It's about the third lowest
Speaker 2: February on record, twenty four percent below the twenty year
Speaker 2: average for the month. So home sales in the Great
Speaker 2: State of California have tumbled below great recession low for
Speaker 2: twenty one months now.
Speaker 1: Starbucks new drive through is the first three D printed
Speaker 1: store in the US. Walk me through this.
Speaker 2: So you can build buildings now with these giant it
Speaker 2: almost looks like a it's a giant three D printer,
Speaker 2: but it probably looks a little bit more like a
Speaker 2: miniature crane, and it basically piles cement kind of forms
Speaker 2: on top of each other until it builds up into
Speaker 2: a wall.
Speaker 1: It's a new way of building things. Yeah. Well, three
Speaker 1: D printer thing is I think misleading.
Speaker 2: Supposed to be a great way to innovate, to build
Speaker 2: affordable houses quickly, cheaply.
Speaker 1: Interesting study. Does everything blow over with a thirty mile
Speaker 1: per hour wind?
Speaker 2: No, No, it's pretty sturdy. Yeah, that's part of the reason.
Speaker 2: And they said most of the homes that they've done, that,
Speaker 2: the smaller affordable homes they've done, are come in a
Speaker 2: giant circle shape. It's easier for them to put that
Speaker 2: crane thing right smack in the middle and do it
Speaker 2: that way.
Speaker 1: Oh, I see, I see that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Ronan, the sea lion, can keep a beat better than
Speaker 2: human beings can. Fifteen year old California sea lion is
Speaker 2: scene swaying her head in time to the tempo changes
Speaker 2: in music. The New College of Florida has spent a
Speaker 2: decade studying Ronan's rhythmic abilities. Not very many animals show
Speaker 2: the ability to identify and move to a beat, aside
Speaker 2: from humans, parrots, and some primates. But they're saying that
Speaker 2: this sea lion, bright eyed sea lion has Scientists rethinking
Speaker 2: the meaning of music and how others listen to music.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 3: AM six forty.

Speaker 1: that was. What do you think it was? I don't
Speaker 1: know what's in this room? Ah? What does it taste like?
Speaker 2: It didn't taste like anything, just felt like something flew.

Speaker 4: Okay, Shannon, I've got a pressure cooker story for you.
Speaker 4: I was about ten years old and it was summertime.
Speaker 4: My mom was making corn beef and cabbage and the
Speaker 4: pressure cooker for a visiting uncle.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I rode my bike by the window and heard.
Speaker 2: This giant whoom.
Speaker 4: Next thing I knew. I went inside and there were
Speaker 4: shreds of corn beef and cabbage all over the walls
Speaker 4: and the screen of the kitchen window. As a kid,
Speaker 4: I thought it was hysterical. We still found bits of
Speaker 4: it later.
Speaker 1: I bet now for years you'd be like, Ah, there's
Speaker 1: a little bit more cabbage dried to the wall over here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would definitely make it all. That would piss me off.
Speaker 1: That's a perfectly good piece of corn beef all over
Speaker 1: the place.
Speaker 2: Next week we'll begin conclave. Next week is when the
Speaker 2: cardinals get together and they decide who is going to
Speaker 2: be the next pope for the Catholic Church and a
Speaker 2: lot of them, have said. Travelers in Rome have even
Speaker 2: seen some of these cardinals out and about frequenting their
Speaker 2: favorite restaurants. Just before the last papal election twenty thirteen,
Speaker 2: the Italian TV stations would report that many of these
Speaker 2: cardinals are making time to visit a particular favorite, Al
Speaker 2: Pasetto di Borgo, which is a family run restaurant just
Speaker 2: about two hundred meters away from Saint Peter's Basilica.
Speaker 1: Well, the conclave brings with it a cloak of secrecy,
Speaker 1: a code if you will. It goes back to twelve
Speaker 1: seventy four, when Pope Gregory the Tenth established the regulations
Speaker 1: that still partly dictate how papal elections are run today.
Speaker 1: His was controversial, As with the coronation of many popes,
Speaker 1: it had this distinguished distinction excuse me of being by
Speaker 1: far the long took almost three years to get a
Speaker 1: majority consensus required to appoint a new pope. Local residents
Speaker 1: threatened to restrict the cardinal's food to hasten a resolution.
Speaker 1: You better pick a pope or we're cutting you off.
Speaker 1: We're not going to feed you anymore. Let's get this,
Speaker 1: Let's paint the wagon.
Speaker 2: Paint the wagon, Pope Gregory.
Speaker 1: The tense new rules included isolation of the conclave. That's
Speaker 1: a rule that's still in effect today, and rationing of
Speaker 1: the cardinal's food. After three days without consensus, the cardinals
Speaker 1: received only one daily meal and after eight days only
Speaker 1: bread and water. Now we talked about how the average
Speaker 1: is four days. It looks like the popes they go
Speaker 1: one day with only one meal and then they make
Speaker 1: a quick decision according to these rules. But by the
Speaker 1: mid nineteen excuse me, by the Bin thirteen hundreds, these
Speaker 1: rules were relaxed a little bit. They were relaxed by
Speaker 1: Clement the sixth, who permitted three course meals consisting of soup,
Speaker 1: a main dish of fish, meat or eggs, and dessert,
Speaker 1: which could include cheese or fruit. Tight control over the
Speaker 1: conclaves remains.
Speaker 2: The daily meals are prepared in a communal kitchen by
Speaker 2: cooks and Somlie's two of the domestic positions that keep
Speaker 2: a conclave running.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of wine that goes on with
Speaker 1: these meetings.
Speaker 2: Well why not?
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if we were picking a new
Speaker 1: pope would we be drinking doing it? Um? And that's
Speaker 1: us that's two schmos and a padded room and burbank.
Speaker 1: Maybe true. We take it a little seriously, wouldn't we.
Speaker 2: They said that there is a concern that the kitchen
Speaker 2: might have been a space where illicit messages could be shared,
Speaker 2: notes that guards were stationed there specifically to prevent this.
Speaker 2: For twice a day, in an order determined by lottery,
Speaker 2: the stewards would ceremoniously bring the food to the ruota
Speaker 2: wheel or the turntable built into the wall that allowed
Speaker 2: the food and drink to be passed to the cardinals
Speaker 2: in their inner hall. But before being passed through the wall,
Speaker 2: it was checked by testers to make sure that they
Speaker 2: weren't hiding any illicit messages.
Speaker 1: Every step was closely watched by Italian and Swiss guards.
Speaker 1: Nothing was permitted that may obscure a secret message. So
Speaker 1: no closed pies. If there was a pie to be delivered,
Speaker 1: you'd have to open it up like an American pie,
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit different. No holed chickens. Sorry, well,
Speaker 1: everyone's thinking of the same thing, aren't they. When they
Speaker 1: see the term no closed pies. You're thinking of pie
Speaker 1: that's not closed. You're thinking of that movie, are you?
Speaker 1: No I'm thinking of a pumpkin pie. A pumpkin pie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no crust on the top of it. There's
Speaker 2: no covering.
Speaker 1: Oh I see, so no like pastry on top. That's
Speaker 1: what they mean. Yeah, I thought they just meant like,
Speaker 1: no intact pie. You could still put a message inside
Speaker 1: a pumpkin pie. Yeah, you could.
Speaker 2: Maybe they don't have pumpkin pie no, or.
Speaker 1: Maybe you can make a mess of the pumpkin pie
Speaker 1: with just a spoon. No whole chickens, wine and water
Speaker 1: have to be offered in a clear glass, not an opaque. Vessels,
Speaker 1: cloth napkins were opened and carefully inspected as well.
Speaker 2: The arrangement, they said was part of it was to
Speaker 2: make sure that the cardinals were the only ones involved
Speaker 2: in the selection process, no outside influence, But they said
Speaker 2: also because they wanted to assuage any concerns about poisoning.
Speaker 2: Maybe not so much now, but a few hundred years ago,
Speaker 2: the pope was a very was just as politically important
Speaker 2: as he was faithfully important.
Speaker 1: Back to pies, go on, Your favorite pie is a
Speaker 1: key lime pie? Is that correct?
Speaker 2: If that would be at the very top of the list, Yes,
Speaker 2: I think a close second is a good tart lemon meringue.
Speaker 1: Okay, I think that's pretty common. What I think my
Speaker 1: husband's favorite is a key lime. And if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: I think my brother's favorite pie is a key lime.
Speaker 1: Now I never saw I would say about men, oh men,
Speaker 1: like I am a I am a chocolate mouse pie.
Speaker 1: It's not really pie. It's like a cake that's masquerading
Speaker 1: as a pie. I'm just not a big pie. I'm
Speaker 1: not a fruit a fruit dessert person.
Speaker 2: Some berry pies are good, but again I go for
Speaker 2: the tart, even the apple pies, I want them to
Speaker 2: be made with a tart apple.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm not the big cinnamon ease. You don't like
Speaker 1: cinnamon on your apple pie? Maybe a little bit, but
Speaker 1: don't get crazy to get overwhelming. Don't let yourself go
Speaker 1: with that cinnamon.
Speaker 2: I like a little crunch in my apple pie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's got to be. Yeah, you gotta have
Speaker 1: a little bit of a crunchy crisp crust. Right, you
Speaker 1: don't have to. But do you make your pies? I
Speaker 1: haven't made a pie in a long time. Does your
Speaker 1: wife make pies?
Speaker 2: I guess I should say she has made the pies
Speaker 2: more often than I have.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never made a pie. I don't think I
Speaker 1: made a lemon meringue pie.
Speaker 2: One time we had friends over and my buddy said,
Speaker 2: I don't really eat dessert.
Speaker 1: And you punched him in the face and then never
Speaker 1: made a pie again.
Speaker 2: I don't make pies for him anymore. I mean I
Speaker 2: didn't make it for him. It was just I made
Speaker 2: a pie.
Speaker 1: Was this going back to Dennis when he made you
Speaker 1: a cake? Is that why you made your friend the pie?
Speaker 2: Why would that have anything to do with this is
Speaker 2: a nice thing to do, completely different confection.
Speaker 1: It's a dessert. It's a dessert. I just have never
Speaker 1: known a man to make a cake or a pie.
Speaker 2: What, Yeah, you've never known a baker?
Speaker 1: No? Oh boy, I dontorrow a baker. What is this
Speaker 1: the renaissance fair? Like? What do you mean a baker?
Speaker 1: I don't have a baker, like, I don't have a
Speaker 1: You know any man who's made a cake or a pie? No?
Speaker 1: I find that. Well, my dad didn't, my brother didn't.
Speaker 1: My husband doesn't make desserts. He'll make cookies. He's made cookies.
Speaker 1: You know three men in your life?
Speaker 2: Yeah, tomorrow the dodge you're taking on the Braves in Atlanta.
Speaker 2: First pitch is at four fifteen year If I.
Speaker 1: Could meet the men that make cakes and pies.
Speaker 5: My husband does.
Speaker 1: Oh he does? What is he doing?
Speaker 5: He makes this vegan moose, These vegan moose maps. You
Speaker 5: would never know they're vegan. He makes, I mean he
Speaker 5: makes all kinds of things. He veganizes stuff for me
Speaker 5: all the time.
Speaker 1: Sweet. Yeah, and that is really sweet. Kind of make that.
Speaker 1: I made that word up, but he does. That's good. No,
Speaker 1: it's a good word. Yeah, that's fair. He makes things
Speaker 1: non vegan. The moose situation. What is that?
Speaker 5: Oh, it's so good? Whoa, I'll have to bring it
Speaker 5: in next time he makes. Yeah, he made me one
Speaker 5: time for my birthday. It was vegan and it was
Speaker 5: a big, huge chocolate peanut buttercup because Reese's peanut buttercups
Speaker 5: were my favorite growing up. And there's actually a vegan No, actually,
Speaker 5: hershe's has a vegan.
Speaker 1: Really, you made that for you? He made that for me.
Speaker 1: That is really sweet. Twice wow. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Listen to all the Dodgers games on a five seventy
Speaker 2: LA Sports Live from the Galput Motors Broadcast booth and
Speaker 2: stream all the Dodgers games. N HD on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 2: app used the keyword AM five seventy la sports.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just thinking about dessert. I saw that
Speaker 1: in your face. Sorry, Gari and Shannon will continue how
Speaker 1: junk food is hiding inside our memories waiting to attack.
Speaker 1: It's I don't this one scares me. It's true.
Speaker 2: We're big dumb animals. We are can't fight it.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 3: AM six.
Speaker 2: First day of May. One of the big stories, of course,
Speaker 2: is that Mike Waltz is going to be out as
Speaker 2: National Security Advisor. Just a short time ago, President Trump
Speaker 2: took to truth Social to say that Mike Waltz is
Speaker 2: actually going to be nominated as the ambassador to the
Speaker 2: United Nations and that in the meantime, Marco Rubio is
Speaker 2: going to add to his Secretary of State duties acting
Speaker 2: National Security Advisor. So that's what's going on. Hey, Iheartradios.
Speaker 2: Wango Tango, presented by Fiji Airways, is coming up on Saturday,
Speaker 2: May tenth, a week from Saturday, at Huntington City Beach
Speaker 2: just south of the Pier. Great lineup including a two
Speaker 2: O May Katz Eye, Megan Trainer, Gwen Stefani, Doja Cat.
Speaker 2: You can also enjoy the pre show Wango Tango Village
Speaker 2: that starts at one o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Enjoy music, live, DJ's,
Speaker 2: food and fun, a bunch of additional performances, and you
Speaker 2: can make a weekend out of the whole thing because
Speaker 2: hotel packages are available at AXS dot com. And as
Speaker 2: a note, tickets go up tomorrow, so get your tickets
Speaker 2: for iHeartRadio's Wango Tango at AXS dot com.
Speaker 1: The way that National Geographic writes this up it is
Speaker 1: eerie and creepy. They say, the next time you remember
Speaker 1: a chocolate bar in your desk drawer, your brain may
Speaker 1: not just be remembering it. It could be actively pushing
Speaker 1: you to seek it out.
Speaker 2: That's where we begin strange science.
Speaker 4: The.
Speaker 1: Strange s.
Speaker 3: It's like weird science, but strange.
Speaker 1: Neurons that trigger cravings that lead to overeating even when
Speaker 1: you're not hungry. That's right, your brain may be fighting
Speaker 1: against your desire to lose weight by forcing you into
Speaker 1: the focolate bar we all need to eat.
Speaker 2: This is where the addiction to food can be such
Speaker 2: an issue, because you still need to eat.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. That's different with other things. Right,
Speaker 1: you don't need any of the other addictions.
Speaker 2: You don't need a glass of wine or a beer,
Speaker 2: or a couple shots. You don't know thoseyl or fentyl
Speaker 2: or cigarettes or something you actually.
Speaker 1: Do need to eat. Interesting, I never thought about that.
Speaker 2: Scientists have distinguished between metabolic hunger, which is your body
Speaker 2: telling you you need food for energy, and hedonic hunger,
Speaker 2: which comes about when food looks good or it smells good.
Speaker 2: And they said that there's a third layer. This study
Speaker 2: has says there's a third layer called memory driven hunger.
Speaker 2: I mean, we're just talking about our favorite kind of foods, right,
Speaker 2: our favorite pies or whatever is driven by memory, the
Speaker 2: memories you have of eating good versions of those foods.
Speaker 1: This still happens to me where I think Totino's pizza,
Speaker 1: we're the ones you can get ten for a dollar
Speaker 1: at the market. I still have this memory that they're
Speaker 1: really good, and so once in a while I'll get
Speaker 1: one and it's disgusting, it's awful. I throw it out,
Speaker 1: it's so bad. But I have this such a strong
Speaker 1: memory of all those years when I ate those and
Speaker 1: just thought they were so delicious, same thing with like
Speaker 1: a grilled cheese with a craft single oh Man on
Speaker 1: sliced sour dough bread. Couldn't get better. I ate one
Speaker 1: of those week ago or something garbage? So what is
Speaker 1: this cheese?
Speaker 2: Early in human history when getting calories was an all
Speaker 2: day goal, we had to learn to use those cues
Speaker 2: like smell and site and location to identify those energy
Speaker 2: rich foods, and after eating, the brain stores that information
Speaker 2: along with how that food made us field. Did it
Speaker 2: give us the energy, did it make our mouth happy?
Speaker 2: Did taste good? Did it feel good? And essentially, when
Speaker 2: we eat, we're subliminally integrating the external and internal worlds,
Speaker 2: which is what memory is. And then those signals influence
Speaker 2: dopamine release and the brain's reward pathways, and the brain
Speaker 2: updates the value of food based on that kind of information,
Speaker 2: uses that information whenever you re encounter that flavor. So
Speaker 2: the next time you pass by a bakery, or you
Speaker 2: go to a movie theater and you smell the popcorn,
Speaker 2: or you go to downtown Disney Main Street, USA and
Speaker 2: you can smell the confectionery there, it sparks a craving,
Speaker 2: it activates it sparks this craving, and the study said
Speaker 2: that memories of fat and sugar are stored via separate pathways.
Speaker 2: Both of those lead to dopamine and certain obviously foods
Speaker 2: contain either fat or carbohydrates. The ultraprocessed foods that we've
Speaker 2: been eating contain both fat and carbohydrates.
Speaker 1: Now I want a funnel cake. See that sound good?
Speaker 1: Fat and sugar altogether. That's what it is. Making a
Speaker 1: baby now.
Speaker 2: Exposure therapy, they say, can help, but it doesn't generalize
Speaker 2: across flavors. Each one has to be addressed individually. Some
Speaker 2: medications like ozebic, the GLP one agonists, they actually work
Speaker 2: in this field. They can dampen your reward signals after eating.
Speaker 2: It can reduce that conditioning, reduce the dopamine release, reduce
Speaker 2: the cravings in your brain so that you don't have
Speaker 2: That's why it works. Also on those things like been
Speaker 2: reports that if you're on one of these golp ones,
Speaker 2: you don't have a craving to drink, you don't have
Speaker 2: a craving for drugs that you may have had before.
Speaker 2: But then, of course those medications can also help manage
Speaker 2: appetite in the short term.
Speaker 1: They don't address the root.
Speaker 2: Causes of overeating necessarily, but they say to train your
Speaker 2: brain to resist junk food is to do a little
Speaker 2: cognitive behavioral therapy. Mick, what, well, stick the Snickers bar
Speaker 2: in the middle of the table and then don't eat it.
Speaker 1: That's that's your that's your solution to me not eating
Speaker 1: the Snickers bar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just look at it. Yeah, for how long? A
Speaker 2: long time?
Speaker 1: I don't think your methods are going to work. Well,
Speaker 1: maybe you have a weak brain.
Speaker 2: I do not have a weak brain. Possible, it's possible.
Speaker 1: You want to know what my brain's saying to you
Speaker 1: right now. It's not weak.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 3: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: We've talked to him before you. Yeah, I mean we
Speaker 1: share him. We do share you. Listen to ours.
Speaker 2: A couple of stories that we're following, of course, the
Speaker 2: big national story. President Trump announced that he's going to
Speaker 2: nominate Michael Waltz to be US Ambassador to the United Nations,
Speaker 2: while Secretary of State Mark Rubio is going to serve
Speaker 2: as interim National Security Advisor, while keeping, of course, his
Speaker 2: current title as Secretary of State. He wrote on Truth
Speaker 2: Social from his time in uniform, in the battlefield, in Congress,
Speaker 2: and as my National security advisor, Mike Waltz has worked
Speaker 2: to put our nation's interest first. I know he will
Speaker 2: do the same in this new role. Of course, this
Speaker 2: all was somewhat expected and took a lot longer than expected.
Speaker 2: After Mike Waltz got caught up in the Signal app
Speaker 2: chat from the middle of March, he accidentally added somehow
Speaker 2: the editor to the Atlantic magazine to this chat about
Speaker 2: military planning to go after the Hoothy rebels in Yemen.
Speaker 1: Former President Biden and Jill Biden are sitting down for
Speaker 1: their first interview together since leaving the White House. They
Speaker 1: will be appearing on The View next Thursday to discuss
Speaker 1: topics including life after the presidency, Biden's legacy demo, Kraft's
Speaker 1: election losses, current political landscape. They say Biden has slowly
Speaker 1: begun stepping back into the spotlight since exiting the White House. Hmmm,
Speaker 1: he's been slowly stepping for quite some time, guys. Not
Speaker 1: the right way to write that. He's been a frequent
Speaker 1: guest on The View. He's been on the View ten
Speaker 1: times over the years.
Speaker 2: Monday, we're supposed to see the beginning of the Sean
Speaker 2: Diddy Combs trial, and today he formally rejected the offer
Speaker 2: to plead guilty and spare himself the possibility of a
Speaker 2: prolonged prison sentence. So, of course, these jury selections, beginning Monday,
Speaker 2: charges of racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking and prostitution, alleging that
Speaker 2: he was coercing women and others into prolonged sexual encounters
Speaker 2: that he called freak off.
Speaker 1: The largest single breed dog walk has gone down. What
Speaker 1: kind of breed of dog? Do you think?
Speaker 2: This was not a big breed? I'm going to assume
Speaker 2: it's the smaller breed.
Speaker 1: The DaShan dot dockson docson. I know nothing about dog
Speaker 1: breeds and I yeah, I know that, but I don't.
Speaker 1: I just don't know the names. If you tell me
Speaker 1: a breed of dog, I'll recognize it as a breed
Speaker 1: of dog. I cannot tell you what that looks like.
Speaker 1: This was observed by the Hungarian Records Association. Happened in Budapest.
Speaker 1: About five hundred docsins descended, enough for a national record,
Speaker 1: but short of the Guinness World record of eight hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety seven set in Germany.
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, there is speaking of animals, there is a
Speaker 2: woodpecker that has just invaded a neighborhood in Rockport, Massachusetts.
Speaker 1: It's broken more than two dozen mirrors in at least
Speaker 1: one vehicle's side window in this neighborhood. But they say
Speaker 1: they don't want to do anything about it. They don't
Speaker 1: want to kill it. They're just laughing it off. No
Speaker 1: one wants to harm the woodpecker.
Speaker 2: They're putting trash bags and towels over the side mirrors
Speaker 2: of their cars. Now residents are taking the violence in stride.
Speaker 2: One guy says he and his neighbors are having a
Speaker 2: good laugh. No one wants to hurt the bird. An
Speaker 2: avian biologist with New Hampshire Audubon says smaller birds can
Speaker 2: be very aggressive against their own reflections because they are idiots.
Speaker 1: Or maybe she didn't say that. Maybe this woodpecker is
Speaker 1: just going through something. It's possible it doesn't like itself
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: I showed you the video of the animals, the birds
Speaker 2: that were doing that on my window. Yeah, two birds
Speaker 2: going at I think that that was a mating thing,
Speaker 2: Like one bird was trying to show off by beating
Speaker 2: the crap out of his reflection. Yeah, boy, I hope
Speaker 2: they mate.
Speaker 1: All right. So to the vulture and a hand puppet story.
Speaker 1: This is the one you've been waiting for. Yes, a
Speaker 1: zoo in New York is hand feeding a baby vulture
Speaker 1: with the York City with a realistic bird puppet. There's
Speaker 1: footage of a feeding session at the Bronx Zoo. This
Speaker 1: is one of those moments where I'm floating above my
Speaker 1: body as I say words, and I'm like, what the
Speaker 1: hell are you talking about? Ladies?
Speaker 2: Happened they do that here? Don't they do that with
Speaker 2: condors in callow idea?
Speaker 1: Is it? Because? I don't know.
Speaker 2: Sometimes they're scared.
Speaker 1: The baby vultures are scared of what would be a
Speaker 1: real actual.
Speaker 2: Or if it's not there. I mean they maybe they
Speaker 2: got the chicks from somewhere else and they don't want
Speaker 2: the the chicks to imprint on.
Speaker 1: But remember they have a real king vulture at the zoo.
Speaker 2: Maybe she is not Maybe the mother bird is not
Speaker 2: a good caretaker.
Speaker 1: How dare you? I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe she's going through something like that woodpecker going through something.
Speaker 1: You're right though. The zoo says it developed this technique
Speaker 1: when it raised three condor chicks forty years ago.
Speaker 2: So that they'll imprint on the puppet and not a human.
Speaker 2: You should have done this with your kids. Could you
Speaker 2: imagine your little babies looking up at you and being like,
Speaker 2: I'm supposed to take food from that creature?
Speaker 1: What is that guy? What does that guy know about food? Yeah?
Speaker 1: That's scary.
Speaker 2: The John Cobelt Show is coming up next tomorrow. By
Speaker 2: the way, Yeah, it's Friday. What does that mean? Is
